In this paper, a control theory model of human motivation is described. The basic units of this model (goals, sensor, comparator, decision mechanism, and effector mechanism) are explained, system states and boundary conditions are specified, and propositions based on the model are developed. The consequences of controlling different parameters are discussed and extensions of the model to interpersonal tasks are suggested. The practical advantages of this model for understanding the operation of management systems are discussed and areas needing further research are identified.
